In an announcement that came as no surprise, five underclassmen for the National Champion Kentucky Wildcats declared themselves eligible for the NBA Draft at a press conference in Lexington on Saturday.

Anthony Davis, who many project to be the top pick in the summer’s draft, and classmates Michael-Kidd Gilchrist (projected 3rd overall by NBADraft.net) and Marquise Teague (27th) will join sophomores Terrence Jones (20th) and Doron Lamb (18th) as Wildcats to leave early. Senior Darius Miller (35th) is also expected to be amongst those college players selected.

"If you give up some of your game, you're still going to benefit," head coach John Calipair said. "Can you be about your teammates rather than yourself? That's the lesson (of the 2011-12 season). It can be done."

After blocking seven shots in Kentucky’s 79-64 conference season-opening win over South Carolina, Wildcat freshman Anthony Davis continues to march towards rewriting Kentucky record books.

His 4.6 block per game average leads the nation and puts him on pace to shatter the school record for blocks in a season, currently shared by Melvin Turpin and Andre Riddick in the 1982-1983 and 1993-1994 seasons, respectively.  Their record stands at 83.  With 74 blocks Davis is already well on his way to the throne.

While there is no doubt he’s going to break the season mark over the next couple of games barring injury, it is becoming apparent that Davis already could be considered the greatest blocker in the Wildcats’ storied history.

At his current rate he’ll crack the top 10 career list as a freshman:

Blocks - UK Career Leaders
1. Jamaal Magloire (268)
2. Melvin Turpin (226)
3. Sam Bowie (218)
4. Andre Riddick (212)
5. Perry Stevenson (159)
6. Jules Camara (155)
7. Patrick Patterson (152)
8. Marquis Estill (143)
9. Tayshaun Prince (142)
10. Nazr Mohammed (135)

The real question is going to be is will he stay around long enough to get the career record. A second healthy season would likely ensure his name being etched in the school’s record book.

UK BLOCK LEADERS

For the third the Kentucky Wildcats and head coach John Calipari have been pegged as the nation's top recruiting class by Rivals.com:

PF Anthony Davis (No. 2 overall 2011 prospect)
SF Mike Gilchrist (3)
PG Marquis Teague (5)
PF Kyle Wiltjer (22)

Rivals says: John Calipari is at it again with his third consecutive No. 1 recruiting class at Kentucky. Teague, a dynamic point guard, and Gilchrist, a versatile small forward, are the top prospects at their position. Power forwards Davis and Wiltjer are both multi-talented post players and inside/outside threats.
